A few days back I came across a possibly interesting site whilst browsing around. So I clicked on it's URL. And the home page appeared. But so did a notice saying that they could not deliver to Keighley (my home town). The intriguing thing is I hadn't entered any details at all. So the companies system must have checked my ISP as soon as the contact was made. It's getting easier to become paranoid these days. Dave. |

We are being tracked and recorded in every interaction on the web :bugeye: Google knows all your searches - if you go trawling around it's amazing how many 'targeted adverts get shown to you. We have some holiday cottages on the farm, and I'm a fairly frequent visitor to the booking agents site (Cottages.com). I find it amusing to have my own cottages pushed under my nose when on other sites - no I'm not going to book them !!! |

If you have a Android smartphone have a look at the updated Google Maps if your time line is turned on it will track every place you have visited by date and time. Now that is big brother :wack: |

It's not magic they take your location from the hostname your provider generates. |
